Ok at this point there is enough material to make a great movie on this. It will start of like catch me if you can (the one with Leonardo decaprio) where ghosn is shown at work and doing all the shady stuff he is accused of and then turn into a little bit of Shawshank redemption (with this whole escaping and fleeing the country part) in the middle and then we are still awaiting the ending. Today’s news would definitely be the climax. Man I have a great vision for this movie.

If their goal was to get him removed as head of the company, detaining him that long guarantee that. After that point they probably didn’t really care what happened to him. Not getting his old job back either way.

He was terminated and removed by both Renault and Nissan almost immediate after charges were laid against Ghosn... They didn't need any guarantee, most major corporations would remove someone the second charges are brought against them.

I would be certain to be a flight risk as well, after seeing the way the Japanese handled him. Solitary type for months as they set up a Kangaroo Court. Bull s**t. If you want someone to play by the rules, first be fair, then be clear what the rules are. This really changed my opinion of both the “honor” of the Japanese as well as the integrity of Nissan.

Who's rules are you talking about? Let's not lose sight of the fact that Japan is not America. Ghosn isn't afforded the same rights and protections Americans have. The dude is a multi-millionaire and left on his private jet. It's no wonder Japan fought so hard to keep him imprisoned because they knew he was likely to leave and never come back.

Fully agree. This story opened my eyes to the Japanese justice system, and I was surprised by what I saw.
